[Predator71]

National flag carrier Biman Bangladesh Airlines has suspended a co-pilot who has been remanded on charges of plotting sabotage with aircraft.

Meanwhile, First Officer Sabbir Emam and five others including his mother have been placed on remand on different terms, a day after their arrest.

Biman’s General Manager (public relations) Shakil Meraj told The Daily Star that Sabbir was suspended yesterday following arrest over “militancy links”.


Today, Rapid Action Battalion produced Sabbir and the five others before court and sought them all in remand for further interrogation in the custody of the elite force.

Dhaka Metropolitan Magistrate Md Ahsan Habib placed Sabbir on seven-day remand, and his mother Sultana Parvin on five-day remand. The two others were remanded for six days.

According to what the lawmen said after their arrest yesterday, Sabbir, 31, plotted to fly an aircraft into the houses of VIPs in Bangaldesh or hijack a passenger aircraft.

I don't think its ISIS. Just some home grown brainwashed self proclaimed 'wanna die' kids. They were not either funded nor trained by ISIS. Thanks to the intelligence agencies. We are much more successful than any other countries in catching them before act.

They are ISIS because the mentality is the same.
ISIS recruits first the very top brass of intellectuals and slowly go down the social order.

No offense. How many times your innocent citizens were gunned down by American drones? You don't need Balaka to get threatened.

Apparently we don't need the flying Hilsa to gun us down as well.

No he doesn't

Ok. But what make you think like Balaka means Hilsa? Just curious mind wants to know!!

 

[El Sidd]

No he doesn't

I have no idea what balaka means.

Don't bother with the explanation though.

Just keep ISIS at bay

Sounds like BS to me.... fly plane into a VIPs house.... talk about getting an oversized hammer to crack a peanut.... it would take some precision flying.... I say get this guy into BAF if he has such skills


hijak a plane!!! What for and too where... there are no massive issues in BD that can possibly need a plane hijacking to draw media focus...

Utter nonsense...

Do you get tired once in a while droning on and on and trolling unprovoked about useless inconsequential things?

Ever felt about making yourself useful and offering something worthwhile to others, other than making annoying comments?

Your shoulders must be really broad, for all the chips they have to carry on them.

I am beginning to suspect you are a Bharti false-flagger as well.

No Pakistani has this much hate for Bangladesh, other than Sanghis...

Bharati False Flagger? You are the 3rd from your country to say that. No i am not from Mukti Bahini.

And neither Pakistan nor Pakistanis have any tolerance for racist arrogant lot like you.

The only shoulders that are broad here are the ones from your side which carry the weight of 'Betrayal to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan'

The President or PMs house is not a peanut thing.

So all the militant attacks have a clear motive, right?

This is plausible and reminds me of typical Hizb Ut Tahrir tactics. They have done the same in Pakistan by infiltrating the army and several civilian agencies.

I'd also heard gossip years ago, that HT had many supporters in the BD army but I think that was nipped a few years ago.
